Question

A jet of water with a cross-sectional area a is striking against a wall at an angle θ to the horizontal and rebounds elastically. If the velocity of water jet is v and the density is ρ, the normal force acting on the wall is

Moderate
Solution

The normal force F acting on the wall is given by

F=rate of change of momentum =(avρ)vcosθ(avρ)(vcosθ) =2av2ρcosθ
